in Venezuela heavily fined for attempt-
ing to evade the salt-import law and
tn one occasion an American mission-
ary was fined $200 at l.a'Guaira for
trying to bring in a one-pound bag of
salt that cost him 3 cents in New York.
Italy derives an income of nearly $18-
000.000 from direct taxes on salt.
Salt is obtained in three ways from
siTines from saline springs and from
a-watrr. The largest salt mines in
the world are located in Austria and In
Poland. Germany and Spam also were
lirge producers and supplied Europe
and much of Northern Africa with their

practically eliminated and the markets

fresreroent in operating efficiency un-

what value were the stupendous groM
earnings of ucarly two billions for tin
first six mirths of 1917 an increase of
Ji()5000()rj0 over the same period of
1910 when the 1917 net earnings wen
$7155748 less than the 1916 net earn-

perity of this sort?
The increased war tonnage of the
railroads' is wearing out roadbeds
bridges rolling stock and all other
equipment .while the rialroads are not
taming enough even to replace what is
being exhausted. The imome of the rail-
roads was inadequate pbrfore the war.
Terminals rails and equipment were
r.erded but the money could not be had.
The Interstate commerce commission
by its reiusal to grant adequate rate ad-
anccs destroyed the credit of the rail-
roads. If-rightly cncourkki'd the rail
roads were ready to spend the enor-
mous sum of a billion dollars a yvar

Persecution by (lie late emperora

His speech does not rouse passion it is
